Artist Statement

My art is idea driven, combining simple, easy to read images that, when layered rhythmically or symbolically, add meaning to each other. I'm asking questions about social justice and environmental stewardship, exploring what is in the shadows of belief rather than settling on the high contrasts of our contemporary society. Not all questions demand answers, but they do invite us to think. My work asks if our disquiet over racism, climate change, violence or social injustice can be shaped into a concrete image of our personal involvement in social change. I investigate the objective and subjective character of our relationship with nature and each other. To construct a visual allegory which informs the image, I photograph symbolic objects in my studio or in nature and combine them with images of birds or animals in digital compositions. These inspire the paintings which are made with traditional oil techniques.
